Detailed explanation-1: -b. autosomes are the chromosomes that are not involved in determining gender. Autosomes are the non-sex chromosomes in an organism. These chromosomes are responsible for the expression and development of traits in organisms other than sex determination.

Detailed explanation-2: -The group of chromosomes that are not involved in sex determination is the autosomes. In humans, 22 pairs, or 44 chromosomes in total are autosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The X and Y chromosomes, also known as the sex chromosomes, determine the biological sex of an individual: females inherit an X chromosome from the father for a XX genotype, while males inherit a Y chromosome from the father for a XY genotype (mothers only pass on X chromosomes).

Detailed explanation-4: -Autosomes differ from sex chromosomes, which make up the 23rd pair of chromosomes in all normal human cells and come in two forms, called X and Y. Autosomes control the inheritance of all an organism’s characteristics except the sex-linked ones, which are controlled by the sex chromosomes.
